Which of the following statements is correct?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Correct Answer is option 2 i.e. At burials in Harappan sites the dead were generally laid in pits.
In the Harappan Civilization, burials were typically done by laying the dead in rectangular pits, often accompanied by pottery, tools, and personal items, suggesting a belief in life after death. This form of burial has been consistently found across major Harappan sites like Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, and Lothal. The other statements are incorrect: the Harappan script remains undeciphered; the culture spread beyond Sindh and Punjab into Gujarat, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh; and granaries were found at multiple sites, including Mohenjo-daro and Rakhigarhi, not just Harappa.
Other options :
-
Script deciphered: Incorrect — Harappan script remains undeciphered.
-
Spread only to Sindh & Punjab: False — also found in Gujarat, Haryana, etc.
-
Granaries only in Harappa: Wrong — granaries also found in Mohenjo-daro, Lothal, and others.
